Perhaps, you know the man who is just a few points behind
Erik Santos and few inches away from Sheryn Regis when they are still sizing up
themselves on-stage few year ago. He’s no other than the slick and slim in a crowned
jeweled voice – Christian Bautista. His new escutcheon badge “Asiansation”
tells more of his indelible footprints in the entertainment industry, though
Mister Webster won’t tell you what.

If you have been vigilant of Christian’s plight in the
entertainment jungle, you’ll know how he made it to where he is now – rich and
famous, comely, indomitable – and wiser.

Wise and benevolent enough to cater us (bloggers) to his
fully booked agendas, the The Asiansation’s Bloggers Conference is almost done.
We’re hot at the 4 floor of the SmartTower along the hustle
and bustle streets of Quezon
Avenue, marking November 13, 2011 as red on the
calendar.

The event was under the batons of Pinoy Song Magazine,
Orange Entertainment Magazine (online) and spearheaded by Universal Records,
Christian’s recording label as well.

Of course, bloggers who kept shooting their spotlight on him
expect to get the willies every time. With sheer humor and factual exegesis of
his present achievements, bloggers present on the gathering of the pride boost few
facial muscles with good guffaws and admiration.

The conference is of course stirred by Christian’s brand new
album “Outbound.” A hefty package of his foreign performances and
collaborations which includes US, Korea,
Japan, Indonesia and Singapore.

The Conference swoops the well-lighted room of the UR with the bloggers’
inquisition of Christian’s status from head to toe. Expect then to receive answers
from him more than you’ve ever asked for.

To seal the deal, Christian made his perfect stance, holding
firm his wireless provision and firing his vocal ammunition, he sang one of his
singles in the album Outbound. Everyone in there just don’t want to miss a
thing. So lenses from DSLRs to a camera phone capture the moment for free.

ushered by bags of giveaways. Courtesy of one Christian Bautista’s major

all those elements that brought him this far.

“…I cherished all the lessons and experiences I’ve gained
through all those years- the ups and downs, the highlights and the difficult
moments. These helped me hone my craft and led me to doors of opportunities.

conquistador prowess to test how challenging foreign shores rather than ours.
The album is a conglomeration of his US,
Japan, Korea, Singapore
and Indonesia

single “All That’s Left.”

Bringing himself to the edge, he stretched his creativity a
little bit more. Trying some dancing and quick moves, Christian promised that

“All That’s Left” is Christian Bautista’s collaboration with
Tat Tong, the composer of the same
single.

“…Tat Tong kasi is a friend of Kewei [Tay].
Kewei and I did a duet for Please Be Careful With My Heart in Singapore. She
later on, introduced me to Tat. And then through e-mail, I asked him: 'Hey! I'm
coming up with a new album. Do you have songs?' So he gave us one [and] we all
liked it. After that, we told him na, 'Okay, make three more! Haha. [And] With
Tat Tong kasi, steady lang kami e. We would throw ideas and stuff. And if it
doesn’t work out, we would always tell na okay let’s do the thing tomorrow. We
write and write and we never stop…”
